Fat Daddy's

Used to be good (notice when the reviews stopped), then they started cutting corners and changed their recipes. Now I don't know of anyone who goes there regularly. You're better off hitting up Dewayne's a few miles north on Hwy 7 in Dover or Whole Hog down I-40 in Conway. This place just isn't worth it any more. Sad day.

Stopped for lunch  on the way to Memphis .  I had the pulled chicken sandwich and my husband the pulled pork with the mixed sauces. Both we're excellent . The coleslaw is good , not creamy . I would recommend adding it to your sandwich.  The staff were all kind and helpful.

I've never felt more like a local Arkansan than I did when I finally decided to eat lunch at a restaurant that shares a building with a gas station.  Sure, BBQ joints are typically rustic or plain old dirty, but watching hillbillies fill up their '87 Rams while I stuff my gullet didn't seem that appetizing.  Nonetheless, I have concluded that Fat Daddy's makes the best barbecue in town.  Their meat is insanely tender and they will cook it in the sauce (sweet or spicy) of your choice.  The spicy sauce tastes mostly of pepper and vinegar while the sweet sauce is closer to Texas barbecue.  The secret, dear reader, is to ask them to mix the two together when they cook your sandwich.  

Don't bother with the sides though; the cole slaw is nothing special (though they'll add it to your sandwich for free), the green beans always taste strangely of peanut butter, and the fries are below average.  Save those calories and just get a bigger sandwich.
